Rvm cannot install rbx-3.107

Hi,

Ever since the default dist changed from Trusty to Xenial, I have had builds using rbx break due to rvm not being able to find the binaries. Here is an example:

https://travis-ci.org/imgix/imgix-rb/jobs/578938587

For now we are building on trusty as a workaround but would still like to have the option of using xenial. I understand this might likely be an issue with rvm rather than travis directly, but I am curious if anyone here has any additional information and/or know what the timeline for a solution might be.

Thanks

Hello, there.

We rely on the rubinius team to provide the binaries. When you make a request for rubinius, we ask our rubies.travis-ci.org server for it. It then redirects to known location in the Rubinius team’s S3 bucket.

This succeeds for

3.107 on Trusty

I suggest getting in touch with the Rubinius team if you want this particular combination.

Thanks for the info.
For what it’s worth, it looks like rbx-4 does work on xenial but the failure appears to be with rvm somehow. This issue also seems to have been brought up with the rubinius team already: https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/issues/3819

Hello!

I was investigating the Rubinius Canary repo, and while tinkering with its TravisCI configuration, I came upon a combination which led to “installing, and continuing” of rbx-4. Use dist: trusty.
